First knife for 2008

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

I finished this up the other morning. It's my back pocket slip-joint pattern. Blade is 3-1/16 to the top of the bolster, polished and made of A-2. Bolsters are mirror polished 303 stainless with the bolster screw hidden, a grove filed into them and the front faceted. The scales are desert ironwood burl and I also faceted them, with 3 sides each. Heat colored screws and this knife has a half stop. I also turned down the pivot screws to make them less noticeable. The liners are titanium which have been anodized blue. Overall length is 7 inches.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck

I like that one a lot-- very nicely done and not so ornate as to make someone have second thoughts about using her!
